Notes
a. Note:   H71
Note:   Davis Johnson was born about 1786 in Lancaster County, South Carolina, died on April 3, 1853 in Madison County, Missouri, and married on August 17, 1809, in Christian County, Kentucky, Elizabeth Betsy Cato. The ceremony was performed by Thomas Woods, the same Justice of the Peace who solemnized the marriage of his brother William Johnson and Jane McGee. Davis Johnson is interred in Little Vine Cemetery in Liberty Township, Madison County, Missouri. Elizabeth Cato was born February 1, 1784 in South Carolina and died February 4, 1878 in Meridian, Sutter County, California, according to the information set forth in her death certificate on file with the County Recorder for Sutter County.
  It is believed that Davis Johnson was named to honor the maternal grandparents. His given name is Davis and researchers who insist that it is David are in error. He was a farmer and also a blacksmith and extremely active in the administration of the Baptist faith. On July 13, 1812, there is an entry in the minutes of Bethel Baptist Church in Jackson, Cape Girardeau County, that Davis Johnson was received by letter into the membership of the church. In later years Davis and Elizabeth [Cato] Johnson were members of the Providence Baptist Church and Little Vine Baptist Church. He served as a messenger for the Little Vine Association which was affiliated with the Bethel Baptist Church, and also the St. Francois Baptist Association.
  Davis Johnson served his county by enlisting as a volunteer during the War of 1812 in the Missouri Mounted Militia under the command of Captain Hugh Tinnin, the same calvary unit in which his brother Noble Johnson served. As a result of his military service he received a warrant for bounty land and his surviving spouse qualified for a pension following his death in 1853.
